Ghislaine Maxwell – Silver Spoons and Hard Times

August 9, 2020

Ghislaine Maxwell led much of her life under the world’s fascinated microscopic view, always enthralled by her – famous and infamous – as it watched her fortunes wax and wane.
From the celebrated miracle daughter of media tycoon Robert Maxwell; to the broken young woman who fled scandal in the UK to a small New York apartment, trying to launch a new life; the rebirth Jet-set Ghislaine, who was everywhere at once, longtime companion of Jeffrey Epstein, a man even richer and more shady than her father; the sophisticated middle age woman, a runaway alleged criminal trying hard to avoid detection by her pursuers – finally, to the incarcerated, indicted suspected sex trafficker and perjurer.
Ghislaine was Robert and Betty Maxwell’s miracle baby, born on Christmas Day, 1961. Two days after that, their eldest son suffered a fatal car accident.
In 24 hours, it all had been somehow foretold: joy – and then tragedy.
During the Swinging Sixties, Robert Maxwell served two terms as a Labour Member of Parliament (MP) for Buckingham. He led a multimillionaire lifestyle, and was the host of star-studded parties at Headington Hill Hall, his baronial fifty-three-room Oxford mansion.
The Maxwells spent a million dollars redecorating the mansion. In a stained glass window scene for the imperial staircase, Israeli sculptor Nehemia Azaz depicted Robert Maxwell as the biblical hero Samson tearing down the gates of Gaza: “a titan of luck, impossible achievement, and unlimited wealth”.
They had the use of chauffeured luxury cars. They traveled the world in Robert’s Gulfstream IV Jet and his sleek 180-foot yacht, named Lady Ghislaine.
“If Bob Maxwell didn’t exist, no one could invent him,” Labour Party leader Neil Kinnock celebrated the bombastic, demanding mogul who dined with kings and presidents and had a bottomless appetite for family, food, fortune, and fame.
The first brush with financial and professional hardship came at a age when young Ghislaine would have been mostly sheltered from it.
In the early seventies, after Robert Maxwell tried similar shenanigans in a failed attempt to swindle the American financier Saul Steinberg, who was interested in a strategic acquisition of Pergamon Press. Steinberg claimed that during negotiations, Maxwell falsely stated that a subsidiary responsible for publishing encyclopedias was extremely profitable.
At the same time, Pergamon had been forced to reduce its profit forecasts for 1969 during the period of negotiations, leading to a suspension of dealing in Pergamon shares on the London stock markets.
It was found that Maxwell had contrived to maximize Pergamon’s share price through transactions between his private family companies. This was a criminal practice he would utilize again in the future.
Inspectors from Britain’s Department of Trade and Industry declared Maxwell unfit to run a public company: “Notwithstanding Mr. Maxwell’s acknowledged abilities and energy, he is not in our opinion a person who can be relied on to exercise proper stewardship of a publicly quoted company.”
‘Captain Bob’ established the Maxwell Foundation in tax haven Liechtenstein, in 1970. By the 1980s he come back roaring, prompted by money later said to have originated in the Soviet Union. He bought the Mirror Group built and a massive media conglomerate.
The good times were on: Ghislaine was nicknamed “The Shopper” because of her wild spending funded by Robert’s millions. He also bankrolled her failed corporate gifts business.
During this period, she reportedly had a VERY close relationship with her father and was widely credited with being her father’s favorite child.
In Oxford, Ghislaine led a student life of wealth and privilege. Her father would send Filipino servants to the college house she shared to clean, arrange the table and cook, in the event of a party.
Her career piggybacked on her father’s businesses. She was made director of the Oxford United, and later, put in charge of “special projects” of the New York Daily News.
With her father’s money, she found her way into society, especially in New York — a haven where she could escape his complete control.
But the good times were not to last. Overextended and over-leveraged, Maxwell’s empire was about to crumble.
At this time, Maxwell reportedly was a regular at London’s casinos, playing three tables at once, even dropping $2.5 million in a single night. For years, he had been an inveterate gambler, but this was the behavior of a desperate man whose time was running out.
“He was a very crude man,” said a female writer for Time magazine. “His polish was not very deep. If you were with him for any length of time, it peeled away. I was in his library in the Maxwell House penthouse—a beautiful apartment with marble and servants all over the place—and while I was admiring his books, his valet said to me, ‘You should see Mr. Maxwell’s collection of pornographic tapes’.”
Ghislaine visited her father in his office before he flew off to Gibraltar. “He was looking for an apartment in New York—a sort of pied-à-terre, where he could talk and have meetings—and he wanted me to help him,” she told Vanity Fair. “He asked me to go see a particular apartment. He said, ‘If you like it, I’ll make time to see it and come to New York.’ ” But the next time Ghislaine saw her father, he was dead.
”Ghislaine is the baby of the family and the one who was closest to her father,” her mother Betty told Vanity Press. ”The whole of Ghislaine’s world has collapsed, and it will be very difficult for her to continue.”
When she finally appeared before the reporters, she had collected herself. “How did your father die?” a journalist shouted at Ghislaine Maxwell. “He did not commit suicide. That was just not consistent with his character. I think he was murdered. ”
Maxwell, it turned out, had debts of nearly $5 billion, and had stolen hundreds of millions from the Mirror Group’s pension funds to shore up his faltering companies. That left 32,000 employees exposed to retirement ruin.
The irony was not lost on the hard-hitting British press: Robert Maxwell, a socialist, stealing hundreds of millions of pounds from the Mirror’s pension fund!
He swindled money from two of his public companies, transferred millions in and out the secret family trusts in Liechtenstein, to manipulate the share price of his Corporation.
Robert was called “rogue,” “crook,” “bully,” “thief,” “megalomaniac,” and “gangster.” The press told lurid tales of his sex orgies with midget Filipino hookers.
He was seen as a 310-pound aberration gorging on spoonfuls of caviar. An erratic and cruel tyrant who used Turkish towels for toilet paper. Journalists wrote that he was a spy for the K.G.B. or Mossad or Czech intelligence—or all three.
“My daughter Ghislaine has no money, no trusts, no funds anywhere.” her mother Betty told Vanity Fair. “Neither of [my children] had any money. Their father never gave them any money.”
Their assets were frozen. His son Kevin’s house was put up for sale, as were the Lady Ghislaine and the Gulfstream IV Jet. Their passports were seized.
A friend told The Times of London, “[Ghislaine] had always been the life and soul of the party wherever she wanted to go in the world and never had to worry about money.” Now she was the broken child of a monster, his name forever synonymous to scandal. “She was catatonic,” the friend said.
Forced to vacate her huge company-provided residence, she moved into a small apartment. When a friend came to visit, Ghislaine told her, “They took everything—everything—even the cutlery.”
Little did she know how many more times things in her life would shift from silver spoons to hard times. A woman brought up in luxury, she had everything taken from her, before she came to the United States to begin again.
“He wasn’t a crook,” Ghislaine told Vanity Press. “A thief to me is somebody who steals money. (…) Did he put it in his own pocket? Did he run off with the money? No. And that’s my definition of a crook.”
“I’m surviving—just,” she said. “But I can’t just die quietly in a comer. I have to believe that something good will come out of this mess. It’s sad for my mother. It’s sad to have lost my dad. It’s sad for my brothers. But I would say we’ll be back. Watch this space.”
Ghislaine Maxwell was also being hunted by the tabloids. The Maxwell name was so detested in London that she is said to have had to walk around in a blond wig so people wouldn’t recognize her.
Ghislaine Maxwell’s reinvention didn’t take long. Maxwell moved to the United States just after her father’s death. Her photograph boarding a Concorde to cross the Atlantic caused outrage – her father had just defrauded pensioners out of 750 Million Sterling Pounds.
According to the Mail on Sunday: “Unnoticed by almost everybody, traveling with her was a greying, plumpish, middle-aged American businessman who managed to avoid the photographers. It is to this man that 30-year-old Ghislaine has turned to ease the heartache of her father’s shame.”
“His name is Jeffrey Epstein.”
“Whose house is this, Ghislaine?” a friend asked her in the early 1990’s. “Who lives here?”
My friend,” Maxwell replied.
“Well, is he banging you?” the friend demanded. “What’s the scoop here?”
A trust fund is said to have provided her with an income of $145,000 a year. A far cry from her previous seemingly unending wealth. She “never, ever had any cash. Lots of credit, of course, but no cash”, one friend recalled to the press.
And yet, she lived the high life. She was known in New York as the “female Gatsby” for her lavish entertaining. Had a “reputation for being charming and funny, and a glittering lifestyle straight out of the pages of a society magazine”.
She was now “far from the ever watchful eye of the British press,” Hello! magazine wrote in 1997.
“She is proud of the fact that her new life is all down to her own hard work and has her elegant apartment to show for it,” the magazine mistakenly added. One day, she would “get married and have kids. But it has never been a focus: My focus is my business.”
Ghislaine’s presence added more fuel to the question: “How did Jeffrey Epstein amass his fortune?” For one of the most propagated theories is that Maxwell’s father Robert bankrolled him with funds hidden from the UK authorities.
Jeffrey Epstein built a 21,000-square-foot mansion on a massive ranch in New Mexico, which – he boasted – made his New York townhouse “look like a shack”. He named it the Zorro Ranch. He also acquired a 72-acre island in the Virgin Islands and an 8,600-square-foot home in Paris, with a specially built massage room.
She had found a path back to the lifestyle she’d lost when her father died. “She was used to living very well,” says a friend who knew her then. “She didn’t want to go back to where she was.” All she had to do to keep it was to give ‘the monster’ what he wanted.
Maxwell was expected to drop everything to serve Epstein.
She had to keep everyone in line, because one misstep would unleash the wrath of Epstein, one of the few people who could make Maxwell cry. “He would be screaming over the phone,” recalled an Epstein victim, “and she would burst into tears.”
The New York townhouse became a social nexus; guests could have included members of the Kennedy and Rockefeller clans, “along with the requisite sprinkling of countesses and billionaires,” according to The Times of London.
She was “a modern-day geisha” in a “domain filled with the richest people in the planet. “It’s a world frequented by young half-naked girls in bikinis, billionaires and lavish lifestyles, but it borders on the grotesque. You are never really sure what is going on behind closed doors.”
Royalty was specially prized, which is why her friendship with Prince Andrew became so treasured. In 2000, Maxwell and Epstein attended a Prince Andrew’s party at the Queen’s Sandringham House estate in Norfolk, England. It has been reported that the event was in honor of Maxwell’s 39th birthday.
And yet, Ghislaine began trying to distance herself from Epstein long before he went to jail. In the early 2000s, she hooked up in California with a man much richer than Epstein: Ted Waitt.
Waitt lived in a seven-bedroom, 14-bath mansion in La Jolla, sailed the world aboard a 240-foot mega-yacht, the Plan B. It was equipped with a helipad, Jacuzzi, elevator, gym, and HAD AN ONBOARD SUBMARINE, which Maxwell soon was licensed to pilot.
After Epstein went to prison in Florida for a short period, Maxwell saw the silver spoons turned into hard times again.
Acquaintances that crossed her path reported how she was almost unrecognizable. She was not stylish and attention grabbing anymore, seemed determined to go unnoticed. Her face had no makeup. There was a hint of gray in her black hair, she put on some weight.
“I was so shocked by her look,” a friend recalled to the British press. “I didn’t recognize her.”
She even gave up her once proud name, sometimes introducing herself to new acquaintances only as “G.”
“Where are you living, Ghislaine?” the friend asked. “I lost touch with you.” Maxwell suddenly went blank. “Oh,” she replied, “a little bit everywhere.”
December 2014: Virginia Roberts Giuffre filed a motion in the Southern District of Florida describing Maxwell as Epstein’s “primary coconspirator and participant in his sexual abuse and sex trafficking scheme.”
Maxwell made a huge mistake, issuing an “urgent” statement to the media dismissing the claims as “obvious lies.” That allowed Giuffre, to sue Maxwell for defamation in federal court in New York, a lawsuit “widely viewed as a vessel for Epstein’s victims to expose the scope of Epstein’s crimes,” according to the Miami Herald.
Maxwell affirmed her innocence with fury, at one point of her testimony banging her fists on the table. She also, according to charges filed by the DOJ SDNY, committed two counts of perjury.
2019: when the SDNY reopened the criminal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine was far away, living the high life.
She met with her friend Prince Andrew in Buckingham Palace, and participated in “Cash & Rocket”, an annual charity road rally. Between races of the rally, she joined the super rich in attending a Masquerade Ball in London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, as well as a White dinner at La Reserve in Geneva and the Red party at the Yacht Club de Monaco.
Those were to be her last reported events. Cash & Rocket scrub Maxwell’s photo from its website once Epstein was arrested and the scandal assaulted the headlines again.
On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested by federal agents at Teterboro Airport, arriving from Paris. The FBI raided his mansion, and charged him with sex trafficking of minors.
“Epstein’s pimp girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, a very well-connected Brit socialite cannot just walk free,” actress Ellen Barking tweeted the day after Epstein’s arrest. “This woman is his pimp. She pilots planes [sic] to and from the island. I know because she told me.”
Maxwell again went into hiding, unreachable during legal proceedings. It surfaced in December 2019 that Maxwell was among the people under FBI investigation for facilitating Epstein’s crimes.
She was faced with a tabloid frenzy even bigger than the one that accompanied the death of her father. She again uprooted herself and tried to start over in Manchester-by-the-Sea, a quiet village 30 miles north of Boston, she lived for a time in the $3 million, five-bedroom colonial home of Scott Borgerson, CEO of CargoMetrics, a hedge fund investment company involved in maritime data analytics.
Since Epstein was found dead in jail, last August, she is reported to have moved 36 times, out of fear for her safety. Credible Death threats arrived by social media, email, phone, text, and postal service. It began in earnest with Epstein’s arrest, multiplied with his death, and accelerated in the months that followed. They soon became a routine part of her life.
She hired a professional security firm, with operatives that are veterans of intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
This photoshopped photo of Maxwell surfaced last year to mislead the public into thinking she was in Los Angeles. Frank Report was the first to report the photo a fake, a story that went viral.

“Where in the world was Ghislaine Maxwell? Everyone, it seemed, had a theory, each wilder than the last. She was said to be hiding deep beneath the sea in a submarine, which she was licensed to pilot. Or she was lying low in Israel, under the protection of the Mossad, the powerful intelligence agency with whom her late father supposedly tangled. Or she was in the FBI witness protection program, or ensconced in luxury in a villa in the South of France, or sunning herself naked on the coast of Spain, or holed up in a high-security doomsday bunker belonging to rich and powerful friends whose lives might implode should Maxwell ever reveal what she knows—all the dirty secrets of the dirty world that she and Epstein shared.”
(Vanity Fair – Jul 3, 2020)

Maxwell remained at large, beyond the reach of attorneys, tabloid reporters, and a 10,000-pound reward from The Sun in London.
“It’s a little bit like Elvis—you get lots of reports but they’re hard to verify,” a victim attorney said in May.
She was periodically said to have been spotted around the world, usually in places where she was not. Reporters scoured the globe. Some said she was in Russia trying to get a Oligarch to protect her. Others pointed to Israel or Brazil, China, Singapore, the Middle East, England.
She was “both everywhere and nowhere,” lamented UK’s The Guardian.
On August 2019, she was apparently photographed eating a burger and fries in the Cahuenga Boulevard, in the San Fernando Valley. She held The Book of Honor: The Secret Lives and Deaths of CIA Operatives. Given Ghislaine and her father Robert’s alleged ties to Intelligence Services, this choice does not seem accidental.
Papers were running out of incredible stories to account for her disappearance. A bizarre new theory emerged she could be hiding in a submarine which – as we saw – was not downright impossible, since she DID have a license to pilot underground vehicles.
On July 2nd 2020, Maxwell was arrested by the FBI and NYPD in the small New England town of Bradford, New Hampshire. It is situated at driving distance of the NYSD. They finally found her in a luxurious four-bedroom, 4,365-square-foot home on a wooded lot, called Tuckedaway.
Ghislaine Maxwell was charged with six federal crimes: luring and enticement of minors, sex trafficking of children and perjury.
The crimes took place between 1994 and 1997, the years of her “intimate relationship with Epstein,” when she “assisted, facilitated, and contributed to Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of minor girls.”
One of the three unnamed victims was “as young as 14 years old when they were groomed and abused by Maxwell and Epstein, both of whom knew that certain victims were in fact under the age of 18.”
FBI assistant director William F. Sweeney Jr. described Maxwell as “one of the villains of this investigation,” who had “slithered away to a gorgeous property” in New Hampshire, where she was “continuing to live a life of privilege while her victims live with the trauma inflicted upon them years ago.”
“I am optimistic about my future,” she said in 1997, “and believe things will continue to improve for me as time passes.”
Now, according to sources close to her, “I don’t think [Ghislaine] sees there is a future,” came the reply.
If found guilty of all charges, Maxwell could face a prison sentence of 35 years. She denies the accusations, and has pleaded not guilty to all six charges.
She will await trial locked up in the Metropolitan Detention Center, in Brooklyn. A dreadful prison that is as removed from her previous “silver spoon” upbringing as it’s possible in the US. Hard times.
She used to be a larger than life character, who once hosted a dinner for NY socialites on ‘the fine art of giving a blow job’. But then, she really blew it.
A report from a source familiar with the Metropolitan Detention Center gives a glum picture of Ghislaine Maxwell’s present conditions.
She is in the women’s section and believed to be confined to a solitary cell. Because of the past history of the MDC, it is not impossible to suspect that Ghislaine could be having sexual relations with one or more corrections officers, either male or female. Her available wealth would permit her to buy some privileges directly from the corrections officers who could smuggle in items for her.
MDC has a history of guards, male and female, enjoying sex with prisoners and smuggling in everything from alcohol to cell phones to drugs. While she is not enjoying what anyone would call a privileged life, and is most likely [because of Covid protocols] confined to her cell, dank and cold [in summer] perhaps as much as 23-24 hours per day and possibly getting only one hot meal per day, our source says, with her wealth and talent to charm, if there is any privilege, any opportunity, any luxury to enjoy at MDC, she is enjoying it.
Of course, she is probably under near-constant surveillance, for no guard wants to go to prison for letting her get murdered or commit suicide – as did her former lover Epstein. It is not known how frequently she is meeting with lawyers in special rooms set aside for the purpose. But an MDC source tells Frank Report that prison officials are known to eavesdrop on those conversations with lawyers and defendants and do so on high profile cases. Whether they report to the prosecution what they learn is unknown.
In the end, Maxwell has a hard road to hoe and will remain in the brutal and unsanitary MDC until she stands trial or makes a plea deal or dies. The possibility of additional charges other than those currently charged against her – for hebephilia crimes in the last century – remain a possibility.
The late Jeffrey Epstein was a convicted hebephile, a person who has urges for post pubescent but under the age of consent children. Is Ghislaine one also? And are there others, famous and prominent men of power who have indulged as Jeffrey and allegedly Ghislaine have done?
The ace in the hole for her, obviously, is, if she has info on other prominent hebephiles that the DOJ for its own partisan or PR reasons might like to selectively prosecute, she can trade that info for a lenient sentence and hopefully not be murdered for doing so.
Her former lover, Jeffrey Epstein, might have committed suicide, as the Mainstream Media and the US Govt. urges you to believe, but there are some who find the coincidences, cameras being off, bones broken indicating he was strangled, guards happening to fall asleep as they were assigned to watch the most famous prisoner in the world, such that that it just might cause reasonable people to doubt the official narrative a little more than the corporate media and prison officials would wants us to doubt.
The same fate might befall Ghislaine and we may never know just what she did. Whether her crimes were confined to herself and Epstein or whether there was a vast network of hebephiles joining in – or – in fairness to her – she is innocent as she claims, something that a trial, if she makes it to trial, might help us determine.

ScratchMania Casino – Scratch to Win, It’s Fun!

ScratchMania was established in 2008 with a purpose to meet the needs of scratch card players from all around the world. It’s by far the best destination for scratch card players. The design of the games goes beyond your expectations. Unlike other online casinos that offer scratch cards solely as a complementary, secondary product, ScratchMania is all about these little simple, yet very amusing games. We’re focusing more than usual on this topic in our ScratchMania Casino review.
The games you will find at ScratchMania resemble much to other casino games such as, blackjack, roulette, slots etc. It’s a scratch card paradise. Note, all games at ScratchMania are made in-house, which means it’s a one of a kind game collection that can’t be found elsewhere.

ScratchMania Casino Welcome Bonus Codes

You’ll receive a welcome treat right off the bat, as soon as you open your account with ScratchMania. There’s a free no deposit bonus $/€7 that lets you play almost all of the games available at ScratchMania. There's also a first deposit bonus, specifically 100%% up to $/€200! This deposit bonus comes with wagering requirements of 40x the bonus amount.
In addition to this welcome bonus, all deposits made with Ukash, Skrill, Paysafecard, POLi and iDeal are boosted by 15%. Sofort deposits are boosted by 25%. This type of bonuses come with a cap amount of $/€1,000 and the minimum deposit is $/€20.
Bonus players can clear the wagering requirements playing the following types of games:

• Slots - 100%
• Scratch Cards - 100%

Nothing out of the ordinary. After all, these are the games that dominate the casino game library.
We think we should also point out the fact that ScratchMania Casino is rather transparent when it comes to the bonus terms and the responsibilities that come with bonus money. Regardless of their nature, meaning it doesn’t matter if they’re favourable or unfavourable, ScratchMania Casino displays all terms.

ScratchMania Casino Bonus Codes & Ongoing Promotions

Ongoing promotions are not ScratchMania's strongest and best feature. There are frequent month long promotions, which come in the form of raffles and tournaments. They're by far the most alluring treats for bonus players. The payment method bonuses are a silver lining. Getting 15% on top sure sounds nice, but the wagering requirements are too harsh in our opinion. Note, Sofort deposits are boosted by 25%, which is more than what some online casinos offer as special, limited time deals, and ScratchMania has it as an ongoing promotion!
If only these ongoing bonus deals of 15% and 25% were subject to more favorable wagering requirements, they’d be a no-brainer, and ScratchMania Casino would’ve been considered one of the best online casinos for bonus players.

PCI DSS Compliant, SSL Encrypted, Licensed and Regualated

Most online casino players have gotten used to the same layout most online casinos use. ScratchMania comes with a custom made website, ergo it might come off as strange, or weird, which is why many won’t trust it at first. However, ScratchMania Casino is a reliable, fair, licensed online casino. In spite of it having only a Curacao license, it’s proven to be a 100% safe online gaming environment. There’s an SSL encryption, and it’s PCI DSS compliant, which guarantee your privacy and the security of your money, going in and out of ScratchMania casino.
The RNG server is tested by NetoPlay, which is not all that exciting. Yet, during our testing, we didn’t notice any strange or otherwise harmful behavior. The games worked as expected.

ScratchMania Casino Payment Options & Banking

With 7 languages available you can assume that the community of ScratchMania is a diverse one. A diverse player base calls for a long deposit options list. ScratchMania have done just that, bringing in the most popular payment methods like MasterCard, VISA, Skrill, NETeller and Paysafecard, but they’ve also gone a step further accepting certain country specific payment methods like Carte Bleue, Sofort, CartaSi, MisterCash and POLi. The list of deposit options is a bit longer, you can find the complete set of deposit methods in our dedicated ScratchMania payment methods and banking review. Overall, no player should find it difficult to deposit at ScratchMania Casino.
Withdrawal options are fairly limited. That said, you’re allowed to withdraw with a VISA credit card and Bank Wire Transfer only. Note, with a VISA credit card you can only withdraw the same amount you’ve deposited. The remainder will be transferred to you via bank transfer. Although these are the only withdrawal options, you will get your money out. The only problem being, there’s not many payment options to choose from.
Players can deposit in EUR, GBP, USD, CAD, AUD, CHF, SEK, NOK. The minimum deposit amount is $/€/£10 and the minimum withdrawal amount is $/€/£10 with a credit card and $/€/£50 with a Bank Wire Transfer.

Scratch Cards Dominate the Casino Game Collection

The main competitive advantage ScratchMania is the game library. Despite being mostly scratch cards, you won’t miss the blackjack or roulette action, because the scratch cards come with a touch of blackjack, roulette and some of them greatly resemble video slots. The operator of ScratchMania made sure that each and every player can enjoy in the design they like the most, while playing the seemingly boring scratch cards. We tried some of their games and we enjoyed them quite a lot. The hit rate is amazing and the RTP is beyond your imagination. Some of the games we like to recommend are Scratch King which looks like a slot game, Blackjack Scratch and Dozens Roulette. They’re like nothing you’ve seen so far. ScratchMania is a breath of fresh air in an already oversaturated market full with the same old slot designs. The more you scratch, the more you can win. In addition to the abundant scratch card portfolio, there are 2 dozen of slot games and several Virtual Sport Games you might like to check out. It’s Flash based, which is not welcomed, but the designers have made sure it’s not too demanding in terms of tech requirements.
Do we like the games? Yes, we do like, but we’d like to see more traditional casino games. The scratch cards provided are amazing, unique, eye pleasing, basically everything a player wants. But, we’d like to see standard blackjack and roulette games.

That being said, we prefer the mobile casino experience provided by ScratchMania. Please, don’t take this the wrong way, because the desktop experience is admirable, but the mobile is simply better.
The range of games is narrowed down, but this shouldn’t be a reason for concerns. All other aspects of the ScratchMania Casino mobile are in line with our criteria.

Live Dealer Casino Games – NOT Provided

Most likely, you already guessed it, but there are no live dealer casino games at ScratchMania Casino. They simply don’t fit the scope. Not that a scratch card player wouldn’t enjoy a live casino game for a change. Nevertheless, it is what it is. If you’re looking for live dealer roulette, live dealer blackjack or live dealer baccarat, check out the similar casinos listed below this review. All of them come with live casinos. If there were only Live Dealer Roulette tables at the very least, a big part of the general casino player base would've been delighted to join ScratchMania Casino.
Can we expect Live Casino games to be added at ScratchMania? Highly unlikely, because of many reasons. Like we just said, they’re out of the scope. Moreover, they will have to change the entire platform to integrate the live casino games, which is rather costly.

VIP Program, Loyalty Points and VIP Store

ScratchMania Casino features a VIP program like no other. By this, we don’t mean it’s outstanding or overwhelming. We’re trying to say that the terms and the benefits are distinctive, and unique for ScratchMania Casino only. There are some typos in the VIP info page, but that doesn’t concern us.
The VIP program comes with 6 different player statuses. The statuses are earned based on the player’s activity, in terms of how much the player has wagered, or by the amount of money deposited. Ultimately, you should just enjoy the games, and you will get at the top.
You can exchange these Loyalty Points for cash, or browse the VIP store for more “rewarding” options and prizes. Essentially, it turns into a grind, earning Loyalty Points and spending them in the store. We don’t have anything against this kind of approach in rewarding active players, mainly because the most active and most loyal players get the most rewards.
The standard VIP perks you’ve seen elsewhere are also provided, but do not expect any lavish events that will make you stop and stare.

Live Chat, Email and Phone Support – 24/7!

Live chat, email or a direct phone call, these are your options when you want to contact ScratchMania customer support. The live chat is by far the most convenient communication method. It feels as if you’re chatting with a friend who works at ScratchMania. They’re friendly and professional. Send your emails at [email protected] and the phone number is +35722007792. The response time is beyond than just reasonable. The phone number connects you with ScratchMania’s office in Cyprus. Note: please double check the phone number in the Contact Us section at ScratchMania Casino, because it is subject to change.
Nevertheless, if you’re not in a hurry, fill out the contact web form provided in the said section. Select the topic, enter your email and provide the query details. They’ll get back to you as soon as possible.

ScratchMania Casino – Available Worldwide!

Quantity breeds quality, and in ScratchMania’s case, there are 8 languages to choose from. Besides the standard picks such as English, German, Swedish, Norwegian and Finnish, ScratchMania Casino is available in Greek, Spanish and French. This says a lot about its player or customer base. Basically, the global approach requires more resources, but it also means a wider, broader customer base.
Moreover, ScratchMania accepts and allows players to play in a number of different currencies, and we all know what this means, no currency conversion costs! Unfortunately, ScratchMania does not have a UK license, and as such, it’s not available to UK players. Hopefully, this will change at some point in the near future. After all, scratch card oriented casinos are rather rare.

Supported Devices

In order to play at this online casino, you will need a PC with a stable Internet connection. The casino supports all major commercial browsers such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Safari, etc. There is no additional software that needs to be installed, such as a casino client, as everything plays natively in the browser. The games are run using Java Player so make sure that you have it installed or that it is embedded in your browser. However, be aware that some games might not run on some versions of Linux.
If you do not wish to be chained down to your computer or laptop, or if you are traveling but still want to play, you can do so on your smart device. The site supports a mobile version for smartphones and tablets. Games are adapted for mobile use and are optimized to fit the smaller displays of smartphones and tablets, while still retaining their usability and conveying information just as well as on your PC.
While this is all well and good, what you have to also keep in mind is that not all games will run on your mobile device. There is no official post listing the unsupported games so you would have to find that out on your own.
It is indeed unfortunate that the casino does not offer a downloadable app for smartphones or tablets when other similar websites go out of their way to provide one to their player base. The experience of playing on a mobile browser may prove to be sub-par compared to that on a dedicated downloadable app or on a desktop computer.
Different smartphones perform differently and some players may not have any issues, while for others it may be unplayable. It is recommended that you play on a newer device as those have way fewer problems in terms of performance and stability.

E-Wallets such as Skrill or Neteller usually have instantaneous transactions, while Bank Transfers take somewhere between 3-5 business days to clear.

Customer Support

The operator has employed agents ready to help should you experience any difficulties or issues, or you simply have questions to ask. You can contact them using several methods. The most conventional one would be to call their offices. There are two telephone numbers posted on their Support page, one for their Malta office and one for their UK office.
Alternatively, you can email them at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) or send them a message via their online form. The most direct method of contact and one that does not require you to get up from your computer would be to engage them in a live chat session. Once on the live chat page, you will be asked to enter your username and email and to select your preferred language of communication.
Response times are usually quick and the operators speak decent enough English to accommodate and service you. Customer Support is offered throughout the week, including on weekends. Additionally, there is a pretty extensive Frequently Asked Questions page where you can find the most commonly found questions and problems. The casino’s website itself is also available in a range of languages like English, German, Polish, Russian, Norwegian, Finnish, Hungarian, Turkish and Vietnamese.

Licensing and Restricted Countries

The operator holds licenses from two of the most reputable and respected institutions dealing with online gambling – the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA). The MGA certificate was issued on 29 January 2013. These institutions hold online betting sites to the highest standards ensuring the optimal player experience and fairness. The fact that the casino possesses certifications from these two institutions demonstrates their commitment to delivering honest and quality gambling services.
On a negative note, EnergyCasino is not available everywhere, be that because the country does not allow online gambling or because they do not hold a license to operate there.
